In the upcoming fixture of the Paraguayan Primera Division, Matchday 9, Libertad will take on General Caballero JLM at the Estadio Tigo La Huerta in Asunción. LIbertad leads the points table with 6 wins and 19 points from 8, whereas General Caballero JLM stands 11th with just a win and 6 points from 8 matches played so far in the competition.Libertad and General Caballero JLM last played against each other in October 2022 and Libertad won (1-0). Since 2022, the two sides have competed on four occasions, and General Caballero has only managed to win a single outing. 

Going in the matchup, Libertad is coming off a defeat in its last away fixture against Olimpia (2-1), in which Hector Villalba did give his side an exciting start by scoring on penalty in the 25th minute of play. However, Libertad didn’t capitalize on the opportunity and lost the momentum before the end of the first half of play. The last minute goal from Facundo Bruera gave the opposition an unexpected win playing at home. Moreover, Alfio Oviedo was also sent off the field due to a red card suspension. Club Libertad has won 4 of its last 5 matches played and has scored 7 goals at an average of 1.4 goals per game. If Libertad continues its home run, the upcoming matchup will end in a one-sided win for them.

Going in the matchup against Libertad, General Caballero JLM is coming off a defeat against Cerro Porteno (2-3), in which Jorge Sanguina and Cristhian Baez scored opening goals in the first 35 minutes of play. Though General Caballero JLM had the unsung advantage in their favor before the end of first half, they couldn’t capitalize in the second half and lost (2-3). In four of the last 5 matches played, General Caballero has conceded 2 or more goals, which is why it is clear that their defense is quite weak.
